Role of the Trigonal Warping on the Minimal Conductivity of Bilayer Graphene

Abstract: Using a reformulated Kubo formula we calculate the zero-energy minimal conductivity of bilayer graphene taking into account the small but finite trigonal warping. We find that the conductivity is independent of the strength of the trigonal warping and it is 3 times as large as that without trigonal warping and 6 times larger than that in single layer graphene. Although the trigonal warping of the dispersion relation around the valleys in the Brillouin zone is effective only for low-energy excitations, our resu… Show more

“…13,14 Additional unique properties can be found in bilayer graphene ͑BLG͒. Chief among them is the so-called trigonal warping, 15 a phenomenon solely due to the interlayer coupling. Electrons in bilayers can exhibits qualitatively different properties not seen in single layers, such as interlayer drags 16 and correlations.…”

“…The repercussions of different Hamiltonians on the zero energy minimal conductivity were discussed in Ref. 12, where the effect of the trigonal distortion was found to be significant, whereas the simplified Hamiltonian of Ref. 10 led to results similar to those of the four band model.…”

“…In a graphene bilayer we have a DP at each K (and K ′ ) with three satellite DP's, trigonally situated around each K-type point. Thus, this is a new situation; also for the reason that there exist for it both two and four dimensional Hilbert space descriptions 10,12 . The Hamiltonian in the former description is shown in equation (6) and equation (7) ; some essential features of the energy contours are shown in Fig.…”
